![Check Mark](/static/check-mark.png)
Answer to Problem 1QQ
Among the given options, the group of particles that has the greatest mass is (c) four individual protons.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The mass of particles is generally expressed in
A helium nuclide has a mass 4.002602 u
The mass of a proton in atomic mass units is 1.007276 u. Therefore, the mass of 4 protons is
The mass of an electron is 0.00054858 u. The mass of 4 electrons is
Conclusion:
Thus, it can be seen that the mass of 4 protons (4.0291 u) is the greatest among the three groups given. Hence the correct option is (c).
